There are rich people and poor people, even in a prosperous country like Australia. So is such a phrase born: A poor man's [something]. This is to refer to a inferior version of the "real thing" which only the rich can afford. And this phrase can carry lots of humour in it, for example:
Keira Knightley is a poor man's Natalie Portman.
Similarly:
Volvo is a poor man's Benz.
An Abacus is a poor man's computer.
大家都来说说你听到过的好玩的 A poor man's something？
